Having ditched the Sky 3D channel thanks to 12 months of endless repeats I’ve been lacking normal 3D television content for a while. That was until the BBC decided to broadcast the final of Strictly Come Daning in 3D last weekend, it’s a shame really because it went on to show why 3D may never take off for standard television programs.

There are some sports that seem to really work well in 3D whilst there are others that just don’t. Amongst those that come to life and look spectacular are rugby, golf and tennis. Sadly amongst those that have never really stood out is football, until now that is, because last Sunday Sky nailed it with their 3D football coverage!

Sky are planning to do for British sport what James Cameron has done for the movie world. Arsenal versus Manchester United will become the first English football match to be broadcast in 3D (well to the lucky sods in the 9 pubs showing it).

Sky claims it will be the first transmission of a live 3D TV sports event to a public audience anywhere in the world. The test broadcast is to pave the way for a plan to roll out a 3D TV service to thousands of UK pubs from April. Not so great if you don’t enjoy a beer but the good news is that the Sky then have plans later in the year to roll out to their domestic customers.
